Marvel Teases Big Future for Ant-Man in New Series
For fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the fourth panel holds the most allure. There, we see an all-new black and red Ant-Man costume, alongside a text block proclaiming, “The Future”!
You’d expect such language in a series devoted to celebrating a character’s history, and Marvel Comics are certainly no strangers to time travel, but time travel has now become an integral part of the MCU’s version of Ant-Man. In 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, we saw how Lang’s adventures in the Quantum Realm – the dimension he accesses by shrinking to sub-atomic size – allows him to visit the past.
More importantly, we know that the primary villain in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania will be the time-traveling tyrant Kang the Conquerer, played by Jonathan Majors. Even better, MCU chief Kevin Fiege has revealed that Kang will be big-bad for the next few phases of the franchise, filling a hole left by Josh Brolin’s Thanos.
We’ve already seen an aspect of Kang in the MCU, thanks to the Disney+ series Loki. In that show’s first season finale, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the variant Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) discover that the meddlesome Time Variance Authority (TVA) is operated not by a godlike triumvirate called the Time-Keepers, but by a figure known only as He Who Remains, portrayed by Majors.
He Who Remains certainly wields a heavy hand over the multiverse, which is why Sylvie kills him in the final episode of Loki Season one, but he’s not the one to worry about. Before he dies at Sylvie’s hand, He Who Remains warns of his own Variants, one of whom will certainly be Kang the Conqueror.
